Easy Guacamole Recipes
Be careful handling chiles if using. Wash your
hands thoroughly after handling and do not touch your eyes or the area
near your eyes with your hands for several hours.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp of fresh lime juice or lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp to 1/4 cup of minced red onion or thinly sliced green onion
- 1-2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced
- 2 tablespoons cilantro (leaves and tender stems), finely chopped
- A dash of freshly grated black pepper
- 1/2 ripe tomato, seeds and pulp removed, chopped
Garnish with red radishes or jicama. Serve with tortilla chips.
Making Easy Guacamole Recipes
1 Cut avocado, remove flesh: Cut the avocados in half. Remove
seed. Score the inside of the avocado with a blunt knife and scoop out
the flesh with a spoon. Place in a bowl.
2 Mash with a fork: Using a fork, roughly mash the avocado. (Don't overdo it! The guacamole should be a little chunky.)
3 Add salt, lime juice, and the rest: Sprinkle with
salt and lime (or lemon) juice. The acid in the lime juice will provide
some balance to the richness of the avocado and will help delay the
avocados from turning brown.
Add the chopped onion, cilantro, black pepper, and chiles. Chili
peppers vary individually in their hotness. So, start with a half of one
chili pepper and add to the guacamole to your desired degree of
hotness.
Remember that much of this is done to taste because of the
variability in the fresh ingredients. Start with this recipe and adjust
to your taste.
4 Cover with plastic and chill to store: Place plastic wrap on
the surface of the guacamole cover it and to prevent air reaching it.
(The oxygen in the air causes oxidation which will turn the
guacamole brown.) Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Chilling tomatoes hurts their flavor, so if you want to add chopped tomato to your guacamole, add it just before serving.
